| In the
early 1970s MRE (Motor Racing Enterprises) produced a number of quite successful
F Ford cars and in 1973 they built a F3 chassis. Eventually in 1975 the
company was taken over and evolved into Tiga who were to build F2 and sports
cars. |

The
MRE at its debut.
|
|
| Designed by Canadian
Max Broxtrom the MRE Mk2 was based on a F Ford chassis and therefore
retained a space frame chassis with a stressed steel undertray. Suspension
at the front was a top radius arm and leading link with a wide-based
triangular bottom wishbone. At the rear, a radius arm with top link
and reversed A bracket and bottom link. Cast magnesium uprights were
fitted and the rear brakes were inboard, a 10 gallon fuel tank was
used. The car looked neat and tidy but a lack of development and poor
engines meant the car never featured in the last season of 1600cc
F3. |
